Hey Woofa’s,

HAPPY EASTER 2023!

I can’t believe I’m already saying that!!

How fast has this year gone already?

Anyway, Easter IS here and some of us love to celebrate.

And me being me I want to include Billy in some Easter fun too.   Why not?

Here’s a list so you can not only include your dog in all the Easter fun BUT you can keep them safe as well.

Let me know what you guys think!

EASTER SAFETY CHECK-LIST FOR YOUR DOG!

1. Chocolate! 

Easter is all about the chocolate, am I right?

Well, our human chocolate is not good for dogs!

HOWEVER, there are chocolates that are dog friendly.

All you have to do is either go to your local Pet Store OR Google – Easter Eggs For Dogs and you can find what you like for your dog online!

Just make sure whatever chocolate treat you buy your dog it is marked – DOG FRIENDLY!

If you want to know more about WHY your dog can’t eat chocolate and what to do if they do eat it CLICK HERE!

2. The Easter Egg Hunt!

We all love a good Easter Egg Hunt.

Running around the yard looking for Easter eggs, trying to get more than anyone else!

Well, why not let your dog join in the fun?

If you have kids, let them do theirs first and make sure your dog can’t get their eggs!

Then you can make sure none of their eggs are left before putting your dog’s (dog friendly) Easter eggs out.

You don’t want your dog eating human grade chocolate of any kind, see above!

Let your dog sniff one of their dog friendly Easter eggs and then off they go to find more.

It’s not only fun and rewarding for your dog but mentally stimulating as well.

3. Dressing Your Dog Up For Easter!

I like seeing dogs in cute bunny ears, I must admit.

However, only for the Easter pic and then take them off.

Some dogs just don’t like being dressed up.

Be aware of your dog’s body language, if they don’t like having their cute Easter outfit on, take it off them.

Place Easter ornaments and props around them while they sit or lay down but don’t force them to wear stuff that they are not use to.

4. What to Buy Your Dog For Easter?

Again all you have to do is google – Easter gifts for Dogs and so much stuff comes up on-line.

There’s stuff like – toys, doggy Easter eggs, doggy Easter treats, doggy outfits, bandanas, it really comes down to what your dog likes.

Last year we missed the Doggy Easter eggs at our local pet store because they sold out really quickly.  So this year I went earlier and still only managed to get the last Easter dog bone.

If you want to buy something for someone else’s dog, put together a little Easter Basket for them.

5. Easter Gatherings!

We leave Billy at home when we go to Dean’s Nanna’s house for Easter.

Whether you’re having the Easter gathering at your house or going to someone else’s house, it’s important to be aware of your dog’s needs.

If your dog isn’t use to being surrounded by people and you’ve got guests coming over, make sure your dog has a safe place to go, away from people.

Make sure your guests know NOT to give your dog any chocolate.

When there are kids around, make sure they know your dog’s limitations – no ear or tail pulling, no giving the dog Easter eggs.

If the dog is trying to get away from the kids let the dog go to their safe place.

If you are going and leaving your dog make sure they have everything they need to be safe and comfortable.

6. Easter Food!

Dogs love food!  People eat lots of food and chocolate over Easter.

Dogs like to give those puppy dog eyes which makes people feel sorry for them and give them whatever it is they are eating.

You don’t want your dog overeating this Easter.

Why not make them an Easter meal made up of their favourite food and allow them some dog friendly Easter eggs?

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

Easter is here.

We love our food and our Easter eggs, and so do our dogs.

Let your dog join in the Easter fun!

Go through our Easter Safety Check-List for your dog to make sure everyone is safe for Easter.
